Proxy wars often arise from the competition between global powers for influence over specific regions, leading to conflicts where external nations support opposing factions to further their own strategic interests.

What wars are considered Proxy wars of the Cold wars?

The Korean War and the Vietnam War were both results of communist aggression.

What kind of war was the us involved in from 1946-1991?

From 1946-1991, the United States was involved with the Soviet Union in what is now called the Cold War. This conflict did not see the two superpowers go to war directly, but both countries fought each other based on political ideologies and differences through "proxy wars". Two well-known proxy wars were the Korean and Vietnam Wars, where the United States backed the South Korean and the South Vietnamese governments in order to prevent the spread of the Soviets' totalitarian empire.

How were the proxy wars of east Asia different than those of the middle east and Afghanistan?

The Proxy Wars in Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Afghanistan actively pitted Communist guerrillas or armies (supported by the Soviets and Chinese - Communist-bloc) against Capitalist/Fascist dictatorships (supported by the US and NATO - Capitalist-bloc). Conversely, the Proxy Wars in the Middle East did not involve Communist guerrillas, but rather the Communist-bloc stood by Arab Socialism and the Capitalist-bloc stood by Israel and convenient other allies.The other major difference is that the Proxy Wars in Southeast Asia and East Asia were, by and large, successful for the Communist-bloc, but the Proxy Wars in the Middle East were, by and large, successful for the Capitalist-bloc.


What Proxy wars became common during the Cold War because they allowed the Soviet Union and the US to?

During the Cold War, proxy wars became common as they allowed the Soviet Union and the United States to engage in indirect conflict without risking direct military confrontation. By supporting opposing sides in conflicts around the world—such as in Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan—each superpower could promote its ideology and influence while avoiding the potential nuclear fallout of a direct confrontation. These wars also provided an avenue for testing military strategies and technologies in real-world scenarios. Ultimately, proxy wars were a key mechanism through which the Cold War rivalry unfolded globally.
